Apples
Scorpius POV
I was walking to class and then I spotted Rose. I mean Weasley. Not Rose. Just Weasely. And of course, you can't just walk past Ro- Weasley and NOT pick a fight with her!
I 'ran' into her
"Watch where you're going Weasel."
I sneered
"Why don't you Malfoy."
"You know Wealsey, I'm sure Madam Pomfrey has a potion or spell to tame the fire going off on you head. I've tried pouring water countless times but it just hasn't worked out for you..." I smirked at her.
"Oh stuff it Malfoy." She said through clenched teeth. "There isn't a potion or a spell that can undersize your ego."
She smirked back at me. After five years, she's gotten pretty good at the Malfoy smirk. Props to Weasley.
"You know Weasel, you're getting pretty good at that smirk yourself."
She clamped her hand over her mouth and wiped her lips like she had just tasted something revolting.
I rolled my eyes, She flipped her hair, and we walked off.
"UGHHH WHY does he have to be so, so... SO..."
"ugh?" Al suggested.
"YES! UGH!"
"Okay Scorpius, you have to calm down... sit down an relax a bit will you?" I took a seat next to my my best friend who is also the best friend of my worst enemy.
I grabbed some bacon and and used it as a spoon to scoop up my eggs. My mother would always make a face at that. Which is another reason why Hogwarts is amazing. She, and my father aren't here to remind me of my flaws. I sighed with sheer bliss.
"Why do you even like to hang out with Rose?"
"ROSE? DID YOU JUST CALL HER ROSE?"
Crap.
"Uhh... uhh no... I said Weasley. Like always. Always Weasley..."
"Thank Merlin." I said hurriedly, trying to quickly change the subject. I don't even know why I said her name first name out loud!
"Today is Tuesday which means we have DADA with the Ravenclaws. Even though they can be little know it all's, it give me a challenge. Maybe this day won't turn out as bad as it is starting."
I had a happy smile on my face as I was pouring my orange juice.
When I looked up, Al had this apologetic look on his face.
"What? What's going on?"
"Mate, I really hate to be the one to break it to ya but, today is Wednesday. Which means we have potions with the Gryffindors..." Al said very tentatively.
"AAAAooooOOOHHHH!" This weird and agitated noise escaped my lips as I pounded my head onto the table.
"Oh come on Scorpy!" Al said and I looked up at him with a look in my eye that would make Voldemort himself faint.
"Okayyy... So today is NOT your day!" I grunted at him, grabbed my stuff, and trudged out of the Great Hall.
"EVERYONE QUIET DOWN!"
The whole class immediately shut their traps. No one wants to mess with Slughorn. He's ancient! He's been teaching for Merlin knows how long. He man's a cranky old mess.
"Now, today, we are working with a very serious and dangerous potion."
I perked up a bit when the word dangerous was said.
"Which is why I have to place you with new partners." A collective group groaned.
"Yes, yes, yes, but I'm afraid that I need to do this unless you all want to blow this place up. Now no more whining and listen for your name to be called! POTTER! You're with..."
I tuned out and looked around the room. I don't know who I could possibly be paired up with... I'm really good at potions. I'm really good at all my subjects and I can tell it drives Rose crazy. WEASLEY crazy. Not Rose. I guess I could be paired up with Parkinson. She tries hard to get good grades. Some people have it as easy as me where it's just natural. Or maybe Zambini. He's a friend and really smart. But still not as smart as me. But who IS as smart as me? Oh no. No. It can't b-
"MALFOY!" I snapped my head around realizing only one more person was sitting down without a partner.
"You will be partners with Rose."
I'm dead.
She plopped down next to me with a cold stare. I gladly returned it.
"The potion you will be working on today will be Amortentia."
Whispers spread throughout the class room.
"Yes, it is very interesting. The first group to brew a successful potion of Amortentia will be given a vial of it. Use your time wisely. Now GO!" Weasley just sat there with a frown on her face. I sighed.
"Look, Weasel, I don't like this just as much as you do but we have to try to work through this. Okay?"
She slowly nodded her head and looked at me like I was crazy. I guess I was too nice...
"I'll get the bats wings and you can start heating up the cauldron."
I nodded and we got straight to work.
I actually didn't mind working with her believe it or not. I even got her to smile at me once or twice. We got along well and didn't fight at all! She's absolutely brilliant too...
But let's not get too carried away here.
"Done!" She exclaimed as she laid down her stirrer on the table.
"Ahh! Well done lads! Perfectly brewed! mmmmm coffee, maple syrup, and new bed sheets! Now, what do you smell?"
I was the first who took a sniff.
"New leather quidditch gloves, ice cream, and uh."
"Well what is it my boy?"
"Um. Apples. I smell apples."
"Do you like apples?" He asked.
"I suppose..." I backed off and let Weasley have a whiff.
"Quality Qudditch Supplies, chocolate, and... mint?"
"Is that a question or a statement?"
"It's uh. Uh. A statement. But Professor, I don't know where that last one came from!"
"Ahhh yes. Amortentia has it's mysteries. Here are you're vials! Use them wisely!"
I grabbed mine and inspected it very closely. Apples? Do I like apples?
"Hmmmmmm" She pondered out loud. "That's so odd."
"I can't agree even more..."
"See you later Malfoy." She picked up her books and rushed off to the next class. And you know what I smelled?
Apples.
So that's my story! Instead of making it a one shot, I was thinking of making it a bit longer. This is my first fanfiction ever so please tell me if you'd like me to continue with this plot or if you just liked it(:
Thanks so much for reading!
